Saïd, Amina: La Terre

Portre of Saïd, Amina

La Terre (French)

portait le ciel en tête

né d’un désir de lumière

l’oiseau portait son chant

 

les pierres sacrées

empruntaient leur forme

au soleil à la lune

 

et toujours la terre

portait le ciel en tête

 

puis vint l’homme

sa détresse extrême

 

autour de son cri

la gangue du silence

dans son regard plus qu’ailleurs

la mort

 

car tout finit

par être ce qu’il contemple

The Earth (English)

carried sky first

born from a longing for light

the bird carried his cry

 

the holy stones

borrowed their form

from the sun the moon

 

and still the earth

carried the sky first

 

then came man

his extreme distress

 

around his cry

the matrix of silence

in his look more than anywhere

death

 

for everything ends

as what it contemplates
